Woman survives night lost in Galtees

MIRACLE woman Rita Hickey said yesterday she survived a night lost in the Galtee Mountains with the help of prayer and a Mars bar.

Rita, 46, from Oola, Co Limerick, was rescued after she stumbled out of dense forestry near Mitchelstown.

Her daughters Claire, 19, Niamh, 17, and Ria, 10, kissed and hugged their mum when she arrived home safely at lunchtime after her 18-hour ordeal.
